... Kalirai and Harvey Richer of the University of British Columbia led the study, which began as an investigation of a globular star cluster in the Milky Way galaxy known as NGC 6397. ... Within the population of stars and galaxies behind NGC 6397, the Hubble image revealed a large elliptical galaxy that contains several hundred globular clusters. ... In fact, a single giant star in NGC 6397 appears 10 million times brighter than one of the distant globular clusters. ...

XMM-Newton observation of the core of the massive cluster Cyg OB2 located in the constellation Cygnus, 4,700 light-years from Earth. The cluster contains massive O-type stars that shine brightly in X-rays. Cyg OB2 #9 is seen as the bright star just below the central star, and in 2008 was determined to be a binary system. ... Hundreds of lower mass stars also fill the field of view, which spans nearly 22 x 16 arcminutes. ...

. F IGURE . 2. The distribution of globular clusters projected onto the XY [(a) and (c)] and YZ [(b) and (d)] planes for metal-rich clusters of the thick disk with [Fe/H] -1.0 [(a) and (b)] and metal-poor clusters of the halo [(c) and (d)]. The closed curves are upper envelopes drawn by eye. Clusters lying far from the central concentrations in the diagrams are outlined and their numbers indicated. discussion in the text | previous figure | next figure .

Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ... CM diagram Young Cluster In this case we see the Main Sequence fully represented. The blue dots represent massive stars with short main sequence lifetimes. ... Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
